Irish Air Corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The origin of the Air Corps goes back to the Anglo-Irish Treaty talks of 1921, when a Martinsyde Type A Mark II biplane was purchased and put on 24-hour standby at Croydon airport in order to allow Michael Collins to escape back to Ireland if the talks failed. The Pilatus aircraft were the first Air Corps aircraft to break Air Corps tradition when the GOC (General Officer Commanding - a Brigadier General) decided to have the Pilatus tail numbers in the 260 series, when the most recent aircraft to be purchased (the Bombardier Learjet 45) had the tail number 258. The Air Corps' ranks are similar to those of the Irish Army. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Irish_Air_Corps   (809 words)

Marine Times News Liam Kirwan Director of the Irish Coastguard when asked for his reaction to the Defence Minister's decision last December to discontinue the Irish Air Corps involvement in Search and Rescue in the NW said, "the Air Corps is only a service provider and they have informed us that they cannot meet the standard".
